Sooo delicious! Everything is zero points on WW, except for the oil I used to saute the onions. My mom's favorite thing I make for her.

I made this recipe last night, but I did not have the hot chili sauce, and it was absolutely delicious! It had a slight spicy aftertaste, but it was very easy to keep eating. I used slightly leaner turnkey and the flavor was full. I would definitely suggest letting it simmer for the full 2 hours, possibly longer to allow the flavors to blend. Great recipe, thank you!

I had 1 3/4 pound of ground turkey, 1 small can of tomato sauce, so I added 1/2 can of tomato paste and only 1 1/2 table spoon of chilly sauce, the rest was of the time I followed the recipe.<br/>My whole family loved it. 5 stars, but for some reason unable to give them

WOW! Was this spicy and I didn't even have any hot chili sauce. I cut the recipe in half, used a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies with the juice, no tomato sauce and it was GREAT! Thanks for this one. Made for Fall PAC 2009.

The problem with some recipes that use the word "spicy" in their name is that they really aren't. Well, NOT here! This recipe not only lived up to it's name, but it far exceeded expectations! We used the last can of black beans a few days ago in a turkey chili so I used the ground beef option & subbed in one chopped green bell pepper for the black beans, but otherwise made as directed. Absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe, Rachel! Made & enjoyed for Fall 2009 Pick A Chef.
